Trip A Big Plus
Nixon’s three-day trip to
Canada to mend strained
relations with a dose ally and
neighbor was viewed as a big
plus by Canadian hosts, particu
larly after the President
expressed Canada’s right to a
separate political identity and
economic independence.
“I’m happy with what he
(Nixon) said both privately and
publicly,” a top Canadian
official told reporters. “We are
all pleased.”
Another sign of renewed
cordiality between Canada and
the United States was the
agreement between Nixon and
Trudeau to work for resumption
of trade negotiations which
ended in a deadlock Feb. 9.
flooding rivers to maintain the
flow of relief aid to the stricken
villages. Government sources
said sudden rain had caused
streams flowing from the 8,000
feet high Zaghros Mountains to
overflow their banks.
Laborers and soldiers built
emergency stone causeways to
allow trucks carrying blankets,
food and medicine into the
area.
There is only one land route
into Kheir, biggest of the
devastated villages. Some 2,000
persons were feared dead in
Kheir. The route is a narrow
rocky highway from the provin
cial capital of Shiraz which
winds through the mountains,
(dunging across river valleys
which have no bridges.
A truck takes seven hours to
cover the 100 miles of
precipitous highway.

Nixon capped private talks
with Trudeau on a range of
world affairs and bilateral
relations with a speech before a
joint session of Parliament,
where members gave him a
standing ovation and desk
pounding approval.
He also took the occasion in
his speech to point an accusing
finger at the Soviet Union for
its arms aid to the Communists
in the escalating Vietnam war.
“The great powers must use
their influences to halt aggres
sion and not to encourage it,”
he said. He also warned that
the encouragement of “aggres
sive use of existing weapons”
could jeopardize the current
negotiations between the United
States and the Soviet Union at
the Strategic Arms Limitation
Talks.
Smaller roads lead from
Kheir to the other villages,
many of them perched on
mountainsides and virtually
inaccessible.
The Shah of Iran and his
wife, Empress Farah Diba,
scheduled a tour of the ravaged
southern region today. They
planned an aircraft flight from
Tehran to Shiraz and a one
hour helicopter trip through the
mountains.
Before Monday’s dawn earth
quake the Kheir area had a
population of 26,000. No precise
figures are available for the
dead, missing or wounded.

On Jan. 19, 1966, Mrs. Indira
Gandhi, daughter of Prime
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru,
was chosen to be prime
minister of India.

Tight Security
Nixon’s visit has been
marked by extremely tight
security, but there were few
incidents.
Nixon and his wife, Pat,
attended a gala concert Friday
night at the National Arts
Center as the guests of Trudeau
and his wife, Margaret.
In a champagne toast during
a buffet after the concert,
Nixon said “Tonight we’ll
dispense with the formalities.
I’d like to toast the future
prime minister of Canada—to
Justin Pierre Trudeau.” He was
referring to the prime minis
ter’s four-month old son.
Trudeau, in response, said
should Justin ever become
prime minister “I hope he has
the grace and skill of the
President.”

Prisoners release
hostage guards
after grievance talk
PONTIAC, 111. (UPl)—About
30 prisoners at the maximum
security Pontiac State Peniten
tiary held four guards hostage,
but released them unharmed
early today after a 90-minute
grievance session with Illinois
Department of Corrections
Director Peter Bensinger.
Bensinger said the guards
were “jumped” and taken
hostage about 7 p.m. Friday
night. They were released at
1:30 a.m. today.
The guards were held hostage
in the west cell block of the
penitentiary where about 141
prisoners are housed, Bensinger
said.
“About 30 prisoners were
involved,” Bensinger said. “The
other 111 had nothing to do with
it. The officers were unharmed.
He said state police were not
involved, no tear gas was used
and no firearms were involved.
The director said food,
communication, sanitation and

Chaplains called
‘bridge builders’
ATLANTA (UPI) - Military
chaplains often play a key role
in resolving drug and alcohol
problems, racial tension and
changing life styles, according
to Maj. Gen. Gerhardt W. Hy
att, Army chief of chaplains.
But whether chaplains should
belong in the armed forces at
all is a question to be resolved
by law, Hyatt said Friday.
“Whether or not the present
policy of having clergy wear a
uniform while serving their con
stituents who are called to de
fend our nation will be con
tinued far into the future is a
matter to be decided by the
Congress of the U. S., religious
denominations and the general
populance,” Hyatt said.
“I would hate to see changes
just for the sake of change. I
would hate to see changes that
do not assure the continuation

medical service were among
the grievances discussed.
“A number of the inmates
wanted to talk to me and a
representative of the news
media, ’ ’ Bensinger said. Bensin
ger said he and Rick Jones a
member of the Pontiac Daily
Leader, met for an hour and a
half with the inmates.
Pontiac State Penitentiary is
about 85 miles South of Chicago
and about 90 miles North of
Springfield, the state capitol. It
houses a total of 900—mostly
young — inmates, a prison
spokesman said.
The guards held hostage were
identified as Felix A. Lachance,
John E. Ward, Jerry L. Fairley
and Herbert S. Patchett.
Bensinger escorted the
guards out of the cell at 1:30
a.m. The inmates were re
turned to their cells and bedded
down about the same time, a
prison spokesman said.

representative forms of ministry
to service personnell,” Hyatt
added.
“The single soldier would be
the real loser if changes were
made without a long and hard
study of the values inherent in
the present structure.”
Hyatt is a Lutheran clergy
man who heads the Army’s
team of 1,600 chaplains repre
senting nearly all U. S. relig
ious denominations. He made
the remarks in a speech to the
1972 biennial convention of the
National Jewish Welfare Board.
He said a commander in the
modern army regularly finds
that the clergyman on his staff
is the most adequately trained
professional resource person for
counseling soldiers on moral re
sponsibility and on problems as
sociated with drugs.
